Idol Photo: Vill Lee Film
"From start to finish, Idol is an incredibly well-made film. We were struck by the great screenplay, performances, and directing," said the 2019 Fantasia International Film Festival jury, awarding Lee Su-jin's twistsy thriller this year's Cheval Noir award for Best Film. Two of its stars, Han Seok-kyu and Sul Kyung-gu, tied for Best Actor, while the prize for Best Actress went to Nina Medeiros for Father's Shadow. The awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay were both won by Carlo Mirabella-Davis for Swallow. "With a clear vision, Carlo Mirabella-Davis’ perfectly-placed visuals deteriorate as his protagonist decent into depression and self-discovery," said the jury.
Giving the New Flesh award for début cinema to Kirill Sokolov for Why Don't You Just Die!, the jury said "this splatter-punk feature debut goes beyond the subgenre’s framework to blend elements of classic noir cinema, Western visual tropes, and cinematography reminiscent of Bruno Delbonel’s.
